OpenPoiMap - aka Taglocator

Because of a possible overflow (or a time-out) with large sets of data, you need this trick to do want you want do:

  1. Move the map to Ethiopia (it’s not necessary to see the whole country)
  2. In the User Pois field put this: {Ethiopia}tourism=campsite
  3. Hit the show button

You now must zoom in to the point where the blue/black bar at the top of the screen starts to spin. Wait till it stops and zoom out till you see the whole country. When I did that, I saw this:

Doing the same thing for all the Pubs in the UK might not work because of the huge number of Pubs!

Taglocator

Version 0.6 brings many improvements:

Icons replace the colored circles:

Popup with much more information and better layout:

Taglocator

Curently the version has now increased to Bèta 0.3b. There are many improvements (some are just on the softwarelevel) others are clearly visible. E.g. you can now set up your own tag selection and save/reload it as needed: User POIs in Taglocator.

Also the layout in the popupscreen has been improved: The name (when available) is now used as the heading for that poi, and links (both websites and wikipedia) are now in place links. I’m still working on more improvements. Please leave your comments here!

Happy New Year!

Taglocator

Thanks for your input @AndiG88. Especially a link to the wiki might be very useful. Adding indicators probably makes the tool a bit overloaden with features. I want it to be small and fast with no screen clutter.

Editing with Overpass and Level0

Indeed a helpful tool for some of the tasks we sometimes have to do!

gpx trace

Is this maybe of help:

osm.wiki/Track2osm

Also try a right mouseclick in JOSM on the gpx layer. I found this: http://forum.openstreetmap.org/viewtopic.php?id=3782

I’m being faced with the same problem but have not yet solved it.

A Proposal to improve the OSMF by Separating Out the Board from Officers

Please note that we now also have a forum here:

You probably can repost your message there also?

New users shouldn't be allowed to delete a lot of data

It’s my opinion that the layer with administrative borders shouldn’t be available at all to the regular mapper. When I started mapping I was really puzzled (and confused) by the idea that real things (like roads, mountains and rivers) could be connected to a ‘virtual’ world of borders. And at what point becomes a “new” user an “accepted” user?

So yes, I support your complaining, but I also plea for a non-editable layer of administrative (and other) boundaries.
